Concepts and technologies disclosed herein are directed anticipatory supply chain coordination with connected vehicle fleet and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) integrations. According to one aspect disclosed herein, an energy provider system can obtain connected vehicle information from a connected vehicle. The connected vehicle information can include a vehicle identifier that uniquely identifies the connected vehicle, an energy capacity remaining for the connected vehicle, and a current location of the connected vehicle. The energy provider system can obtain order information from an inventory management system. The order information can include a destination location to which a physical order is to be delivered. The energy provider system can determine a route to the destination location based, at least in part, upon the energy capacity remaining and the current location. The energy provider system can then provide the route to the connected vehicle.

An operation method is provided for a hydrogen production apparatus that is disposed in a hydrogen station and produces hydrogen gas to be supplied to a fuel cell vehicle (FCV) arriving at the hydrogen station. The operation method includes starting up a hydrogen production apparatus up to a first operation load ratio preset for a rated operation. The operation method includes increasing an operation load of the hydrogen production apparatus to a second operation load ratio, which is larger than the first operation load ratio, at first timing associated with an arrival of the FCV, and decreasing the operation load of the hydrogen production apparatus to a third operation load ratio, which is smaller than the second operation load ratio, at second timing associated with a completion of hydrogen filling into the FCV.
